Thu, 04 Feb 2016 11:19:07 +0000http://sportsamericasportscards.com/blog/four-of-the-best-additions-to-your-mancave-for-the-super-bowl/With the Super Bowl coming up on February 7th, most football fans are trying to decide where to watch the game. Bars are likely going to be busy, getting a drink or bite to eat will be pretty difficult there. Most restaurants aren’t set up to make watching the game fun or easy, sure you can probably get a seat and good food but at least half of your party is going to be craning their necks around to watch the biggest television event of the year. A man-cave offers the best option when it comes to the big game: Drinks and food are usually in abundance without a wait, and it should be a comfortable experience for all.

Planning on hosting the guys for the game this year? Consider sprucing up your cave with a few sports novelties to impress your guests.

1. Fathead Decals –Inexpensive and easy to display. Fathead decals can go on a wall, pool table or really any flat surface. They make it easy to display your favorite team anywhere in the room so your guests know whose house they’re in.

2. Scarves - A European tradition. Placing the scarf of a team above a bar signifies who the home team is. Time-honored for a century, a team scarf is a very classy and traditional way to show your teams’ spirit.

3. Team Throws – A blanket that covers the couch is a must for entertaining guests. It can catch crumbs and food, and it’s a lot easier to wash than a couch itself. Best of all it displays your love for your team bigger than almost anything else money can buy. It’s especially worth it to watch your buddy bundled up in his rival team logo when he gets cold.

4. Dart Boards – Entertaining a group of guys for a few hours is a difficult task. Darts are pick-up-and-play but not time-sensitive, so you can throw during the ads and not be distracted while there’s action on the field. Something to do that’s still team-oriented can be the difference between “let’s do this every year” and “thanks for the snacks”.

So there you have it: a few easy ways to get your man-cave ready for the best night of football all year round. Of course, everything you need to spruce up your space and more is available at Sportsamerica Sports Cards, as well as plenty of sports cards for sale. So what are you waiting for? Visit http://www.sportsamericasportscards.com/ today to get everything you need for a great Super Bowl night.

Lucky for you, there are several unique sports novelty
hidden gems on the market that you can get for the unsuspecting fan in your
life. These precious treasures are also probably the most findable hidden gems
ever. Regardless, enjoy this list of the best unique holiday gift ideas for your
sports fans!

Let’s start off with something nice for the ladies with
these Aztec Team Boots, which you can purchase for under $40.00. Comfortable,
chic and versatile, these boots are appropriate for virtually any occasion.

For the fellas out there who either want to coordinate with the
ladies’ casual boots, or just look and feel awesome while they lounge around
the house on game day, there are NFL slippers available. These tan moccasins
are skid-proof, soft, and hard-soled and embroidered with team logos for the
super fans out there.

Gender-neutral, purposeful, warm and elegant, team scarves
are a must have for any self-respecting fan’s winter wardrobe. Unlike the
moccasins and team boots, people who show up to work in a team scarf won’t have
his or her super fandom confused for insanity or unprofessionalism.

Okay, so you want to get your friend a jersey, but you don’t
want to spend that much money. You also know that your friend already has their
favorite player’s jersey, so now you don’t know which one you’d get even if you
got them one. What’s a reasonable, wearable solution for this conundrum? A
sweet new team shirt, that’s what!

If you’re looking for something not wearable, how about a
McFarlane figurine? These to-scale, officially licensed, display-based figures
are enough to make the collector/sports fan salivate.

Alas, where can you even find any of these items? In case
you’re actually wondering and you haven’t realized yet, we sell them all right
here at Sportsamerica Sports Cards! Check our line of sports novelty
memorabilia today and pick out something for your special sports fan today. We
also have a selection of collectible cards and toys, in fact, we’re the
internet’s best place to
buy Pokémon cards online.

Mon, 02 Nov 2015 12:05:20 +0000http://sportsamericasportscards.com/blog/appraising-pokmon-cards/Whether you’re new to collecting Pokémon cards or you’ve
been trying to catch ‘em all since the late 90s, there are a few things you
should know about this particular field of collectibles.

For starters, these cards are in the middle of a resurgence.
This means the market for them is getting bigger. As with every trading card
market, some Pokémon cards are more valuable than others. You’re going to need
to know how to identify these cards. Once you do, you’ll need to know how much
they’re worth if you plan on selling or trading them. Here’s where we come in.

Each Pokémon card is littered with symbols and markings.
Some of these symbols can serve as value indicators. Those indicators are as follows.

1.The folks at Pokémon did collectors everywhere a
favor by specially marking their cards with rarity indicators. They are symbols
located on the bottom right side of the cards (note the arrows in the image
below).

Interpret these symbols as follows:

Circle cards are common, and likely not worth
much (if anything at all).

Diamonds mean “uncommon.” Although, these cards
aren’t particularly difficult to come across. Most diamond cards aren’t
valuable, with the exception of some printed before 1999 and others before 2000;
those can be quite valuable.

2. Holographic cards are potentially valuable, and
also potentially not valuable. Your best bet when you encounter holographic
cards is to check with a collectibles professional for some more information.
However, if you see any of the other indicators on this list along with the
hologram, you might have a little Pokémon treasure on your hands.

3. Pokémon cards come in sets. The number of cards
in the set that a given card belongs to is on the bottom right hand corner of
that card. Collector numbers are also found at the bottom of the cards. The set number and collector numbers
appear together in the form of a fraction. The numerator is the collector
number and the denominator is the number of cards in that set. See the
Electabuzz below. Look in the bottom right corner and you’ll find “128/127.”
This number means that the Electabuzz is the 128th card in a set of
127. How can that be?

No one knows…But when you see a numerator
that is higher than the denominator, or a collector number that is higher than
a set number, you have a card that’s likely worth at least something.

Here at Sportsamerica Sports Cards, we specialize in the
Pokémon collectible market. If you’re looking to add to your deck, check out
our selection of Pokémon decks.

Tue, 06 Oct 2015 09:27:25 +0000http://sportsamericasportscards.com/blog/why-diehard-walking-dead-fans-love-the-walking-dead-action-figures/Over the past five years, the Walking Dead comics
and television series have become cultural phenomenons. Therefore, similar to
what happens to a lot of other popular live or animated TV shows, movies, video
games and comics, a toy manufacturing company took it upon itself to create
some Walking Dead action figures.

In the Walking Dead's case, McFarlane Toys made it their
priority to manufacture action figures and building sets. Why McFarlane? Consider this: McFarlane is a company recognized for
creating incredibly detailed and graphic horror, science fiction, and fantasy
action figurines. And, founder and current owner, Todd McFarlane, himself, is a
long-time and devout fan of the horror genre. So, it is safe to say that this
relationship just makes sense.

Well, a quick search and look around the web, and,
of course, our website,
will tell you that, already, a countless number of Walking Dead fans absolutely
love their action figures because they are so well-made and lifelike. We here at Sportsamerica Sports Card cannot
even express enough how superb their attention-to-detail is!

Check out their season 4 Michonne action figure:

There is no denying that this figurine truly
captures Michonne’s (actress Danai Gurira’s) face and physique. Not to mention
this figurine also comes with her signature katana and can of crazy cheese. The
can of crazy cheese is a throwback to episode 11 of season 4, where she tries
to cheer up Carl by whizzing some spray cheese in her mouth, thus showing the
“softer” side of her character—and which, we are sure, fans of the Walking Dead
TV series will appreciate!

McFarlane’s
Walking Dead Figurines Are More Than Just Toys, They Are Collectibles!

If you’re a die-hard Walking Dead fan, chances are
that you might (probably) have some, or all, of the comics you have read and
collected over the years resting in plastic bags. What’s more, you might even
have an unread and unopened copy of several volumes neatly placed on a book
shelf. So, who’s to say that you cannot, as a die-hard fan, add to your
collection of Walking Dead comics by supplementing it with some figurines? No
one! If you are truly the fan that you say you are, you should get your hands
on these now! And believe us (as Walking Dead fans ourselves), you will not be
disappointed!

Even the zombies will leave you in awe!
